2  The outer most layer of Earth  Made of Oxygen, silicon and aluminum

3  Made of basalt  Younger, more dense, thinner

4  Made of granite  Older, less dense, thicker

5  Solid plastic-like rock  1800 miles thick  Convection currents supply most of Earth’s internal heat

6  Made of liquid metal: iron and nickel  1400 miles thick  Creates Earth’s magnetic field

7  Made of solid iron  800 miles  Slowly cooling and getting larger

9  Man has explored the Earth to a depth of 7.6 miles

10  Largest hole ever dug: scientific expedition  12,262 meters (7.6 miles)

11  The temperature at this depth was 180°C (356°F), at which point the rock became more like a plastic than a solid, stopping further drilling

12  Largest hand dug hole in the world  Largest volume of diamonds produced  600 meters (1,970 ft)
